Support for Individuals Experiencing Domestic Violence
If you are experiencing domestic violence, your immediate safety and protection come first.
Arizona law allows individuals in qualifying situations to seek an Order of Protection, which can:
- Prohibit contact from the other party
- Remove someone from the home
- Impact custody and parenting time
- Provide immediate legal protection
We guide clients through their options, take immediate legal action when necessary, and provide clear direction during a very difficult time.
How Domestic Violence Impacts Divorce & Custody
Domestic violence allegations—whether recent or in the past—can significantly affect:
- Parenting time and legal decision-making
- Living arrangements
- Financial outcomes
- The overall direction of a divorce case
Courts take these issues seriously, and the way they are addressed early in a case can have lasting consequences.
A Thoughtful, Case-by-Case Approach
While our firm focuses on efficient, resolution-driven divorce strategies, we recognize that not every case is appropriate for mediation—especially where safety concerns are present.
In situations involving domestic violence:
- We prioritize protection and proper legal structure first
- We help clients navigate both family court and protective orders
- We ensure decisions are made with full awareness of legal and personal risks
Every case is different, and we tailor our approach to the specific circumstances involved.
Addressing Allegations of Domestic Violence
Being accused of domestic violence—particularly in the context of a divorce or custody dispute—can have serious and immediate consequences.

We work with clients to ensure that allegations are properly evaluated, fairly addressed, and supported by evidence, while protecting their rights throughout the process.
